::New in the Studio::

i'm still in love with gray 

(or grey for those across the pond;)

i had an order for a burp cloth and onesie gift set. 

the new baby's nursery is gray

and

they don't know the sex!

(***i loved that delivery surprise! 

 i can still hear my husband 

saying, "it's a girl!"***)

anyhoo...

here's one end of the burp cloth

here's the other end...

and the onesie to go with it.

i find the color combo soothing.

and thank goodness for a sunny afternoon in my studio!

makes my photos look so much better!

i'll be back soon with an update on my quilt top!

  

::New in The Studio::

i always want to preface my posts by saying,

"it looks better in person"

because my pictures are always so dang dark

and don't do justice to whatever I've made, IMHO.

i have no time for editing pictures though.

it's one of those things that i loathe

and procrastinate and find so difficult.

blah, blah, blah.

i'd much rather be sewing

or reading Hunger Games.

between the two, i'm seriously lacking in sleep.

i mean, hello? who's it gonna be? Gale or Peeta?

anywhoo,

in like a lamb and out like a lamb

and all things i make these days are

inspired by spring.

dare i say winter is o-v-e-r

in the keystone state?

the mission:

*gender neutral (mama-to-be doesn't know the sex)

*preppy style ('cause the mama is preppy)

*baby due May 25th.

how'd i do?

hard to tell with these lousy pictures, ain't it?

1. yellow gingham with strips of 'washi tape'

2. blue polka dots with hand embroidered banner

3. classic green and blue with hand embroidered 'baby'

this set is headed to Chicago.

thanks to all our lovely facebook friends who commented yesterday.

merci beaucoup! i really appreciated your feedback.

next up:

baby gift set that i like to call:

lemonade

i just love this bright pink and bright yellow together.

reminds me of...

you guessed it~

pink and yellow lemonade.

this set is headed to Massachusetts

for a new baby girl.

as my niece would say, "i lub it."

happy monday, lambs!

::Pieced Pumpkin Applique::

The nights are getting chilly

and the leaves are starting to

change colors

here in Pennsylvania.

I do miss summer so very much

but there is something to be said

about

pumpkins and fires in the fireplace,

twisting a fallen leaf by

it's stem,

wearing a pretty scarf

and

of course

new Pieced Appliques

for autumn.

I love these onesies! They are making me

sooo happy today!

You can find them in our shop!

Go here to purchase!

The Pieced Pumpkin Appliques will also be

sold separately for you to DIY!

Check back soon for more Pumpkin Projects!
